Some of the most fun you can have with drinks making is coming up with your own unique tasty creations, this is a recipe we conjured up ourselves with ingredients that not only complement each other well but are perfectly balanced in terms of what thy bring to the table.

The Blueberry Blitz is comprised of a great array of fruity flavours including Blueberry, Mango , Orange, and Lime. These flavours are known to pair well together and this is an important part of making your own original cocktail recipes. Just like in cooking, certain flavours work well together and certain ones do not. If you are stuck for ideas or are just not the creative type, then there are websites such as www.ingredientpairings.com that will tell you which ingredients work well together and make things a whole lot easier. You can start by typing in your favourite spirits or mixers and start building form there.

Of course, having the right ingredients means nothing if you cannot balance them well in the recipe. For the Blueberry Blitz we followed what is known as the 2:1:1 ratio. This is a method of balancing out a cocktail recipe into 3 simple components in according to ratio . Two parts Spirit , one part sweet and one part sour.

So, for example in this case we have two ounces of spirits (Mango Rum, White Rum and Cointreau) with one ounce of Sweet (Orange juice) with one ounce of sour (lime juice). There is also the Blueberry Syrup which adds more sweet but this is known as an enhancer and does not tip the ratio too much in the wrong way. Using this to decide on the quantities of the ingredients you will use in your personal recipes will make for much more pleasant drinking experiences.

So, this is just and example of one recipe made from scratch using simple tools and know how. But it is also a great example of why knowing the theory side of cocktail and drink making can significantly increase the quality of your drinks and therefore your drinking experience. So, use this knowledge to experiment at home and make your own delicious cocktail recipe and do not forget to send us them through our submission form to have them featured in future recipe articles.

Here is how the Blueberry Blitz is made.
